characters Leading Learning from Life and My Years at Manchester United
Ecisions of his 38 years as a manager and with his friend and collaborator Sir Michael Moritz draw out lessons anyone can use in business and life to generate long term transformational success From hiring practices to firing This is a superb profoundly interesting account of the man who has reigned at the top of a sprawling footballing conglomerate for 26 years There is something for everyone to take away from this book even if you are not a football fan It spans the entire spectrum covering Sir Alex Ferguson s childhood in Govan a town in Glasgow Scotland his playing career and his managerial stints in three Scottish clubs before he landed at the club where uarter of a century later he will have a bronze statue and a stand bearing his name in the famous red of Manchester United This is a tale of a very successful man who made winning a habit and inculcated that habit into this organization Most importantly he maintained the habit till he left the club so much so that Manchester United is synonymous with Sir Alex FergusonSir Alex writes thoughtfully and candidly The best part that I liked about this book is that Sir Alex didn t hold back anything he named names and is surprisingly open Some very interesting aspects of his tenure are discussed in vivid detail and often it felt like reading the man s mind His iron grip on the dressing room coupled with relentless hunger of being and staying the best remain unmatched in footballing world Football is littered with examples of how great wildly successful managers lose the dressing room Jose Mourinho in Chelsea and Manchester United Carlo Ancelloti in Bayern Munich Antonio Conte in Chelsea are very recent examples of magnificent managers losing the dressing room and succumbing to player power And this is where the title of the book is apt it s called Leading not Managing Very few football managers become leaders Perhaps Diego Simone in Atletico Madrid can be called a leader but he has not spent a decade at the helm of his club yet The fact that Sir Alex was the supreme authority among his players coaching staff and others in the football club for than two decades is a testament of how he practiced control and discipline Being able to retain that control with so many players coming from all corners of the world and translating that control into success by playing well on the pitch is unmatched in footballing history Although I am not a Manchester United supporter that doesn t stop me from appreciating how charismatic and brilliant Sir Alex was in his tenure at the club Nobody knows whether football will have such a leader again However I do feel that a little bit of humility along with anecdote and explanation of why things went wrong when they did would have made this a human read But again it maybe wrong to expect that in a book written by such a competitive person

Written as a collection of anecdotes this book tries to condense Sir Alex's philosophy into a set of principles by which to live In my opinion this is not so much a book about management or leadership as it is about work ethicSir Alex Ferguson

More or less what you'd expect if you invite a monstrously competitive person to spend 400 pages telling you why they were
